PAGE EIGH?t WOMEN OF U.S. HOLD POWER TO. NAME PRESIDENT Experts Figure That 9,000,000 Will Cast Their Ballots in November Election BENEFITS SEN. HARDING! Taking Maine Election as Basis Victory for Republican Can- didate is Seen (Special to The Tribune.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.—About 9,000,000 women will vote in the No- vember election and they undoubtedly hold the balance of political power. This statement is based on a compu- tation made from the woman's, vote in the Maine elestion. Ahout 80000 women voted in the Maine election. Based upon the cen- Sus uf 1¥1U Lnat number 1s 32 percent of the of the number of women 21 years of age who live in Maine. The Maine women number, according to the 1910 census, 248,309. In the United States, according to latest census statistics, there are 26,- $83,566 women of voting age. If the ratio of 82 per cent which existe in the Maine election prevails in all the states, and it probably will as the women generally will want to vote for the first. time, there will be cast in the November election an aggregate woman vote of 8,602,741, or nearly nine millions. In the northern states the per cent age probably will be higher, and in the southern states lower because in the “Solid South” the black man is latgely disfranchis- NEW INCREASES ON EXPRESS ARE GIVEN COMPANY -Further in- Washington, Sept. creases in express averaging 13.5 per cent were approved to the interstate commerce commission The increases which apply to cla and commodity rates inake a total crease of 26 per cent granted the cx- press companies within the last few months. The express companies had asked for additional increases up to 19 per cent. The only exceptions made in the new rates ure in the case of milk {and cream shipments. For the first six months of this year ,the express companies lost ap- proximately $21,000,000, a their report to the commission, which showed revenues of $159,681,000, and operating expenses of $180,7738,000. In its announcement of the rate increases the commission said “With the very substantial increases in express r shippers have a right to demand an improved and steadily improving service.” CENTER OF U.S. POPULATION 1S ‘NAILED DOWN Littie Marker Placed at Spot in Indiana Claimed to Be Exact Center ITS GOING TO STAY Census Bureau May Move the ed, and the negro women will receive the same political discrimination in that section. But the nation’s aver- age probably will be about 32 per cent, which will give nine millions. 32 Percent Vote Similar statistics show that there are 29,577,690 men of voting age in the United States. In the presidential clortton of 1916 there were cast 18,- 628,743 ballots, 62 per cent of the lveas ale population 41 years of age. It can hardly be expected that so large a percentage of the women will vote, but. it may be safely said that at least 32 per cent of them will. inerefure it is evident to all ob- servers that the women now hold the political balance of power. In the Maine election about 75 per cent ot the women yoted the republican ticket. If that percentage , should prevail in all the states north of the Mason and Dixon line and in the west a republican landslide of unpre- cedented manitude would occur. That landslide is confidently expected by the republican managers and indeed. in Washington is practically acknow- ledged by democratic observers. Need No .Vandslide But it will not require 75 per cent of the nine million women voting the republican ticket to cause a land- slide to Harding and. Coolidge. it 32 per cent of the women voters in New York participate in the election it will add nearly a million votes in the Empire state. In 1916 Hughes carried New York by more than 100,- 000, the total,vote being 1,706,354. Had the women, voted than a, 100,000 plurality would have been increased several times over. In Pennsylvania a 32 per cent ratio would have added nearly 750,000 wo- man’s votes to the total of nearly 1,300,000 cast for Hughes in 1916. Hughes carried Pennsylvania by 181,- 950, or about one fourth of the wo- men votes that may be cast in Penn- sylvania in November. Wilson carried Ohio in 1916 by 89,- 503. In Ohio if the 32 percent ratio occurs nearly half a million women will vote, eleven times Wilson’s plur- ality in 1916. Women Holi Balance There can be no question but that the women now hold the key to the National political situation and can throw victory to republicans or demo- crats. Judging from the way they voted in the Maine election it would seem that a great majority of the newly enfranchised citizens are pre- paring to line up throughout the country, except in the south, for Harding and Coolidge. Every intelligent observer must agree that the result in Maine was a complete, repudiation of the League of Nations;by the women, and a tre- mendous republican victory, which is ominous of democratic defeat in No- vember. Women can justly claim a great share of the victory in Maine Had the women voted for the League, the victory would have been equally significant of democratic victory in November. MINOT CITIZENS ASKED TO GIVE MONEY FOR BAND Minot, N. D., Sept. 27—Do Minot business men and other residents want a city band that will be a credit to the community, an asset for public gatherings and a valuable advertise- ment for the city around the state? That is the question that the Knights of Pythias are asking Minot and which they will press home in a definite canvass to obtain necessary backing “for the new organization. At the meeting of the lodge, the future of the band was discussed and a campaign launched to insure the o7- ganization support and provide for its proper development. The Minot lodge started the sub- scription list by voting $25 a month for 12 months. "FOR SALE One. Overland, Model 86, Equipped with Six Cylinder Continental Motor.

In 1910 the “spot” was: finally lo- cated ‘at Bloomington. . Now / these farmer folksi have discovered that the | 1920 “spot” is likely to land some- where within eight miles east of Bloomington. They were somewhat surprised that the “spot” should move eastward after having traveled about | 39 miles west in the 1910 census, but already they are making their claims to the country at large. “Phe government chaps got off on the wr@ng foot back in 1910,” said J. L. Skirvin, Monroe county farmer. “First the dern investigator hell as how the center was right down{ in’ Bill Mosher’s back pastures, Gosh!

SALT LAKE This City Meets Park Problems of Its People in a Broad Way —How the Plan Works . This is another article in connection with a series being published to stimulate In terest and diff Information on city park build Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 27.—Lib- Editor's Not { erty park is Salt Lake City’s magnet for motor tourists. A city park, with all the consequent attractions and conveniences, it includes more than 100 acres, dotted with forest trees which supply an abundance of shade. With its space providing ample room for at least 200 cars, it is yet barely one mile from the center of the city. The usual park attractions are far enough removed from the section de- voted especially to motorists to pre- vent an overcrowding with other vis- itors. On Sunday and Wednesday atf- ternoons a Dand concert is given 100 rods away from the camp site. A broad driveway divides the two ‘sec- tions of the camp. When this ground was turned over to the tourists, a park building 100 yards to the east was completely re- modeled. and refitted for their use. Within this building, a score of gas stoves are connected up in one sec- tion. At one corner a large boiler is kept heated constantly to furnish boil- ing water. In another section ample toilet rooms are provided. When a camping party has cooked dinner over eve of the gas stoves in the building, the meal may be served in an out- qaoor mning room made. possible by tables and settees which can be ob- tained from the public lunch ground nearby. . The only restriction even suggested is contained in the printed notices scattered throughout the park: “‘Vis- itors Will Please Deposit Papers or Other Debris in the Proper Recep- tacles.” The inter-mountain region will not tolerate “Keep Off the Grass” signs. A park officer patrols the park constantly, but not to watch or spy upon the tourists. He is there to see that tourists are not annoyed or their supplies molested. gromnds at any time during the day or night, camp where it pleases, with proper regard of course for other | campers, and leave as easily when ready. No application or permission is required. Whether a party is shel- tered in the camp one night or two weeks, it is confronted with no “hotel and garage” bill at its departure. Thousands of tourist parties, motor- ing through the west, have campe: and cooked in Liberty park, and it they chose, left their outfits there in canyons, sheep ranges or desert. A motor party can come in to the’ safety while they took side trips to ' HE FEELS BETTER THAN WN YEARS, SAYS FOWLER ARMY SCHOOLS MAKERS OF MEN IN PEAGR=TIME Enlisted Soldiers May Graduate from “University in Khaki,” Largest in World OFFER MANY VOCATIONS (By ‘Hal M. Cochran) Camp Grant, Ill, Sept. 27—The United States army has become the maker of business men, as well as the trainer of fighting men. Under Uncle Sam’s huge peace-time plan enlisted soldiers may graduate from the “University. in Khaki’—the largest university in the world—into real professions and positions. There are now 105,000 students taking 107 courses. An illiterate rookie, born anywhere in the universe, may step into the American army, with little, or no edu- cation at all, and step out of it as a full-fledged and educated— Machinist, baker, electrician, car- penter, musician, textile worker, cook, tailor, farmer, stenographer, saddler, teamster, farrier, painter or any one of many other tradesmen.. This has become a possibility since the Research and Development Ser- vice has been added to the regular military training in the’ American army camps. Nine Corps Areas In connection with the government’s plan of building men, the country hes heen divided into nine corps areas which are spread all over the lanl. Bach corps area will be the perman-! ent home of an army corps and the} educational center for the vocational training of American youth. Camp Grant, in the Sixth corps area, has been the center in the Develop- ment and Research work, with Profes- sor G. W. Hoke, formerly connected with the University of Chicago and with the vocational training during the war, in general charge of educa- tion. The new schools at Camp Grant! were started in November, 1919, and ran for a term of six months. So suc- cessful was the tryout that a special school was carried on during July and August with 700 pupils at class, for the benefit of teachers from every post and camp in the United States. Learning by Doing. In the vocational training 32 trades are taught. Practical training is the keynote of the new system—men learning by doing. “When America got into the Worltl War,” as Professor Hoke explains, “it was soon discovered that there was + shortage of developed manpower. The army decided on a system of educa- tional training as well as military raining. ‘Three ideas were made the background of the new work: “Make the time spent in the army attractive and interesting. “Open up lanes to’ business life. “Send a man out of_the army so that he’d be able to go back to civil life at a higher level. “In a nutshell, the idea was to civil- ize the army—bring it in closer touch with the general civil life. Teaching Grownups. “The great plan ‘meant that, grown men must be taught to become skilled in their choice of industrial work, and that they must be taught to meet their social responsibilities as well as their individual responsibilities, in the busness world. “Hence, n place of the old all-mili- tary training, the research and de- velopment work gives soldiers six hours of education and the balance of the working day at miltary train- “The soldiers elect their own branches of education—none are com- pulsory.” A duke’s coronet has eight straw- berry leaves. ——— Was All He Could Do to Drag Through a Day’s ‘Work: Be- fore He Began Taking Tan- lac, Declares Vinton Citizen. “After four years of suffering and misery Tanlac has brought me health and happiness and made a new man of me,” recently declared Winfield Scott Fowler, of 410 J. avenue, Vin- ton, Towa. “I was in a terribly run-down con- dition,’ continued Mr. Fowler, “I had but little appetite and if I ate any- thing like cabbage or onions | would taste it for two or three days after- wards and suffer terribly with gas. My back hurt so that every time [ stooped over the pain would almost make me cry out. My kidneys worried me so that I could get no rest at night. I lost weight right along, and finally became so weak that it was all I could do to drag through a day's work. “But five bottles of Tanlac have changed all that, and I can now eat three good square meals a day and dont know what it is to suffer from indigestion afterwards. The pains have disappeared from my back and I get good sound restful sleep every night. I have already gained twelve pounds in ‘weight and have so much more strength and energy that I can\ do a big days work without getting tired. Its years since I felt as well as I do today, and the wonderful change in my health is entirely due to Tanlac. Any body who suffers as I did couldn't do better than try Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D, and J. H. Barrette, in Wing by H. P.
